Hey guys, hope you enjoy chapter three!!

Edward's POV

"What are you doing here?" I asked stiffly. This was a vampires territory. A human shouldn't be even around here. Especially a human as nice smelling as this one.

"I… uh…" She stammered, and then she burst out crying.

"What's the matter?" I asked. I wanted so badly to hear her thoughts. Something I must have said made her run out the room. I heard her run upstairs. I walked, following her scent.

"You dirty little slut!" I heard as I came closer and closer to the room the scent was leading to.

Then, I smelt fresh blood. It smelled floral. It smelled like Bella.

I'm going to beat on her some more after the guests leave.

I grew furious. I ran to her room at vampire speed.

"Stop, please!" I heard Bella plead. I somehow felt a special connection to her. I couldn't leave her alone.

I got to her room in half a second, and kicked the door open. And there she was, on the ground struggling to get up. James was beside her. He seemed to be enjoying himself. A low growl ripped across my chest.

James turned around. "What the…" James started. "What are you doin- sorry…" He obviously was trying to act casual. "Can you please step out for a minute? I'm kind of busy here."

A quiet growl escaped my lips.



I crouched down, like a cat that was ready to pounce.

I tried to concentrate on listening to James thoughts instead of hearing Bella howl in pain. What is he doing? I'm trying to be nice to him. If he wants to get out the hard way, he'll get out the hard way.

"Edward…" whispered Bella. I took a quick glance at her. "Edward…please…don't worry about me…"

"Shut up you worthless piece of dirt." Sneered James.

"What have you been doing to her?" I growled.

"Why do you care? Go back downstairs." James ordered.

And then I exploded. I just wanted to kill him. I attacked. I ran at vampire speed, and tackled him. I pinned him down to the floor. I heard Bella scream.

"Get off of me!" He howled. He was trying to escape from my iron-strong hands. Unfortunately, he was very strong. He had a lot of human blood in him.

I heard Bella scream again.

James escaped my grip, and headed towards Bella.

"No!!" I yelled as he took Bella and ran out the door.

I could hear his thoughts, so I knew where he was going.

I'm getting Victoria. She can get rid of him.

I knew where Victoria was. I past her when I was going to Bellas room. Victoria was in her room.



I ran to Victoria's room, but stopped in my track when I saw a female vampire with red hair threatening to kill Bella. She had her mouth extremely close to Bella's delicate neck.

When Victoria saw me, she only smiled. She threw Bella to James.

"Well well." She said bitterly. "What have we got here?"

"Give her to me, and I won't kill you." I promised acidly.

"Hah, as if I'm going to give my servant away that easily." She snorted.

I froze. "Your servant?"

"Yes, our servant. Our nice, delicious servant." James added with a grim.

"She served us for almost sixteen years now." Victoria informed in a matter of fact tone. "Why would you want her anyway?" She purred.

"Give her to me." I said through my teeth, not bothering to answer her question.

Bella whimpered as James dug his fingers into Bella's arm.

I thought that maybe I could steal Bella overnight. But I'm sure that Victoria will place gaurds.

Fighting my way out of this will not be such a bright idea too. There are two vampires…

Then, I heard a familiar thought.

Edward, I'm coming. The whole family's coming. I had a vision about us fighting two vampires.

I calmed down. Victoria saw this. She tensed.

Why is he so relaxed? Doesn't he know that we're going to kill him?

A growl interupted the silence. The growl came from behind me. I knew who was making that noise. It was Carlisle.



"Oh, Carlisle! Fancy meeting you here…" Victoria greeted calmly.

James threw Bella to the ground.

"Bella!" I choked.

I get this dude. He looks fun to beat up…" I heard Emmett.

"It seems so that you have a human here… Isn't that a lit-" Carlisle broke off.

Victoria attakced him.

"Why are you here??" She snarled.

Esme growled at the sight of her beloved husband getting attacked. She ran over to the two vampires, who were now on the ground. She joined the fight.

Emmett seemed eager to fight. James, Alice and Emmett all got a handful of James' body, and started pulling.

James started howling in pain, and he began swearing.

Get Bella. GO!! Ordered Esme. I casted a worried glance at everyone. I hoped they could handle this. I saw Bella writhing with pain on the floor, and she was sweating a lot.

I crouched down next to her.

"Bella, Bella…" I chanted over and over again.

"Edward…" She whispered, barely making a sound.

"Bella, everythings going to be alrght." I assured her.

"Take Bella to our house, now!" Carlisle Barked.

I scooped Bella into my arms carefully, and jumped out the nearest window. I landed on the 

ground gracefully.

I ran as fast as I could to my house. When I got there, I gently placed her on my black couch.

"NO! JAMES! PLEASE DON'T HURT HIM!!" Pleaded Bella.

"Bella?" I glanced at her nervously. She was sleeping.

"I love him. Edward, I love you."

My dead heart almost skipped a couple beats. She loved me.

Bella woke up after thirty minutes.

"Where am I?" Bella groaned.

"Honey, your in my house."

She looked around. "Where's James?" She spat.

"I don't know, I think my family killed him.

"They did?" She asked, wide eyed.

Her reaction surprised me. She jumped up and down, and started screaming.

After she calmed down, I frowned.

"Loving a vampire is dangerous." I muttered.

"What?" She questioned.

"I heard you say you loved me in your sleep." I smirked.

"NO!" She screamed in horror.

"What's the matter?" I asked, startled.

"I talk in my sleep!" She cried.



"So?"

"That's so embarassing!" She said through her teeth.

"No it's not. Anyway, I love you too." I admitted.

"You do?" She asked and she jumped on my lap.

"Bella" I said in a disapproving tone. I haven't hunted in a while.

"You said you loved me. So prove it!" She puckered up.

I laughed a frusterated laugh.

"I love you, but it may be dangerous for you."

"Danger's my best friend." She explained.

"I can't be too close to you unless I hunt, and right now…" I pointed to the little amount of space between us.

She tilted her head. "When are you going to hunt?"

"Not until this weekend."

"But there's already black shadows under your eyes. I strongly suggest hunting tonight." She said with an eager smile.

I sighed. "Sorry Bella."

"Hmmph." She complained. Silence…

"What day is it?" She asked, breaking the silence.

"Today's Thursday, so wait just for one more day."

She cheered up slightly at that idea.



We killed him Edward! We killed James! I heard Alice cheer.

"EDWARD! BELLA!!" Alice screamed. Bella jumped off of my lap.

"Alice!" I hissed.

"What? Just rejoicing."

"Your scaring Bella… Where's the others?" I asked, looking around the room.

"They're coming, they're coming." She assured.

"Oh."

"There is one bad news…" She said cautiously.

And I heard what the bad news was in her head.
